Shroud family, this week on Barbarale Shroud, we are talking to one of the strongest human beings.

0:04.0

Strongest female, strongest ladies that's ever walked on the face of this earth.

0:08.7

Hunter Elam, which is super cool because Travis used to coach her on her rise up.

0:15.0

Now she is down in Miami and it's been very cool to watch her.

0:19.5

I think one of the biggest things you're going to get out of this is understanding the commitment level it takes to be world class at something.

0:26.0

I actually love her perspective in this show on just all the sacrifices that she has to make and understanding.

0:33.0

She just moved to Miami and it would be very easy to get caught up in that scene and everything that she has going on through social media,

0:41.0

just the amount of attention that is on her training at Steffi Cohen's gym, which is one of the more famous gyms in the country.

0:47.0

And on top of that, just managing all of it, being a girl in her 20s and staying focused.

1:41.0

When my head hits the pillow at night, the only thing that I want in the world is to actually just go to sleep quickly.

1:47.0

The last thing I need is my brain, spending in circles, being uncomfortable, my room's too hot, my room's too cold.

1:52.0

Do I have one leg out of the sheets or how do I find the perfect temperature?

1:56.0

Guess what, there's an answer. The perfect temperature comes because they, 8 sleep, had this cool thing called the Sleep Pod Pro Cover.

2:05.0
